If you happened to be focused on other things yesterday, say like the House passing health care legislation late on a Saturday night, you may have missed a semi-important story about the Iranian nuke saga.

Over the last several months the press, several governments, and pundits world wide have given Iran a lot of attention.  Specifically, what is the true intent of the nuclear program current underway.  Is it for energy, as Iran would have the world believe, or for something a bit more questionable?

World leaders gave Iran the  benefit of the doubt – or the appearance of the benefit of the doubt – and offered a solution to the country.  The basis such belief was this: If the Iranian government was truly interested in producing nuclear energy, let Russia enrich nuclear fuel rod for that purpose.

Iran gave an initial “yes” but that didn’t last for long.

“Iran is not to give any of its 1,200 kilograms (of) fuel to the other party to receive 20 percent (enriched) fuel and whether gradually or at once, this will not be done and is called off,” Boroujerdi reportedly told ISNA.

I fully believe Iranian government wants nuclear weapons – if they don’t have them already. This isn’t to “wipe Israel off the map” as the Iranian leadership has suggested, but to remove any government in the mid-east that does not share the same religious values the of the Iranian government; however, I also feel like there is a mild march to way that is being pushed by a number of world powers.

Over and over Iran has shown to the world they will not honor deals brokered by the UN, Russia or any other government.  They will act in the manner that best fits their wants and desires.  This only gives others (Israel and the US) the ability to push for war…  the balanced dance of mid-east politics may come to an explosive end if clear  minds do not prevail.
